Ziegler: "I just want to stay professional."

Ziegler: "I'm super organized—I will always lay out my outfit the night before. And I don't believe in wasting money, which is the opposite of how Mackenzie feels."

Ziegler: "I want to fix things. I don't like to see or hear that something is unfair or unjust, that people are suffering, especially kids."

Ziegler: "When I'm not dancing, I usually just like to keep it comfy. Even if I'm just going to dinner, I'll wear jeans or something, but if I'm not dancing, I usually just have a comfy outfit on."

Ziegler: "It's hard to do a reality show when there's so much crying and drama."

Ziegler: "I just want to continue to pursue dancing. I want to focus on making it out there and showing everybody my heart and soul through dance... and do it until I can't walk anymore."

Ziegler: "Whenever I have an audition or a show to get to, I sit down with my mom and make a plan how to get there and how long it will take."

Ziegler: "I love doing hair and makeup and making 'Video Star' videos with my friend, Kendall. I also love to draw. But my life is dance, dance and more dance. I wouldn't want it any other way."

Ziegler: "All I do is watch dance videos. I love Ricky Ubeda, who is a contemporary dancer, and I also love Madison Cubbage. They inspire me to work harder every day."

Ziegler: "I would love to be an amazing singer. I take voice lessons. It's good to have as a dancer - to be able to sing and act, too, because for a Broadway show or musical, you have to be able to do everything."

Ziegler: "With 'Dance Moms' in L.A., we film on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When we film in Pittsburgh, we film the same days, but we still dance in our studio when we're not filming, so I'm dancing every day except Sunday."

Ziegler: "On a scale of one to 10, I feel I'm at a nine because there's definitely room for improvement. I know I could go further."

Ziegler: "I do a lot of 'big picture' thinking now, not just living in the moment or letting other people around me make the decisions. I have a voice and an opinion. I think about the person I want to be and what I can do to get myself there. I think about being a role model and the impact my words and actions can have on others."

Ziegler: "Before I go to bed, I brush my teeth and take off all my makeup. I like to use Neutrogena's makeup remover wipes."

[On the importance of being on time for her]

Ziegler: "Most kids don't worry about this, I know. But you can set a watch by me. I'm just someone who likes to be punctual and on a good day, early. I think it shows you're on top of things and you care."

Ziegler: "I usually get home from dance at 10 every night, and I'll watch TV for about 30 minutes, and then I'll go to bed."

Ziegler: "I really want to keep modelling, but it's not my number one goal in life. But it's so fun. I love doing it; it's just that - it's not like I just want to be a model when I'm older."

Ziegler: "I've been dancing since the age of two. I don't really remember it, because I was little, but my mom signed me up and would put me in cute costumes. A lot of little girls get into dancing, but I loved it so much that I kept doing it."

Ziegler: "Dance has definitely made me a better role model. When I'm performing, I'm always thinking about my face and my look. I used to have a much harder time with it."
